Marauder

Gay and Depressed in Prison

3rd place entry in Corgi's Gaybellion Contest

In this game, you play a very familiar character from the previous Gay and Depressed stories, who is now in jail. You used to be a side character in other people's stories, but now the spotlight is finally yours in this Gay and Depressed spin-off!

If you're interested in some more Gay and Depressed story games, check out the original by queenlatifah04, Gay Old Time by Darius_Conwright, Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_of_the_oven, and Gay and Depressed: The snow bunny society by Benholman44. All of the "gay and depressed" stories are stand-alone stories, so each one can be read separately, but I highly recommend you check these stories out!

Outlast

unpublished

The Outlast Empire has existed for millennia, spreading its reach across time and space. From its humble beginnings as the former Incan Empire, it has outlasted all its foes, and grown to govern the vast expanse that is the known universe

But now it faces its greatest challenge yet. Extinction.

Scientists have predicted that the anomaly known as "The Heat Death of the Universe" has accelerated its approach due to an unknown variable, and armageddon is now imminent. In 10 years, the universe will cease to exist as it once was, and all that will remain is the cold black maw of the unforgiving cosmos.

Play as Prince Achik Chasqui, the third son of Emperor Pachacuti Amaru. Your birth was heralded by a fleet of shooting stars, lighting the sky in a blaze of light, a sight that has not had its equal for over 300 years.

While many believed that your birth foretold certain doom, which was only confirmed for them by the news of the upcoming Heat Death event, a few believed that you were to be the savior of the Outlast Empire. The man who would usher in a new era of unparalleled technological advance and an intellectual renaissance, the 2nd Golden Age of the Outlast Empire. Of course, the majority of people believed that you would live the typical sheltered and privileged life of the younger sons in the monarchy, spending the rest of your days on the beaches of outbound planets, having little to no impact in the annals of history.

But the only person who can truly decide what happens next is you. Your choices will shape your future, and the destiny of the Outlast Empire itself. So choose wisely, and may the stars guide you on your journey.

Did you dip a pretzel in it?

To add on to Mizal's list of great item-based games, I really love Tower of Rowena. Walmart Game is also a pretty great item-based game since you have to strap a bomb to a toy car in the climax of the game, and there's other things you can do as well. Jurassic Fairview Park has a lot of items as well, although to be fair, the game was explicitly designed as a test case to see just how complex of a game the founders could make, so naturally items play an important role in unlocking different endings and beating the game. The last item-based game that I can remember really enjoying is Blackwell's diamonds. So yeah, I disagree with this hot-take because I had a ton of fun with the item-based games here.

I’ll take this one. You’re a fantastic writer and I really need to read more of your stuff

If you want, you could also join Endmaster's prompt contest too! In this contest, you'd have to write your own CYOA, so if you feel up to it, you could give any of the 15 prompts left a shot! Here's the link: https://chooseyourstory.com/forums/news-and-updates/message/30961

If anyone would like to request reviews on their storygames, please do so here! We got 14 reviewers waiting in the wings!

Oh that’s a really good point. Honestly, that makes sense. In that case, I’ll be on the lookout for any requests. You should totally do a request for Tales of Erenel! Thanks for letting me know! I’ll request that you review my story, Gay and Depressed in Prison. You can do it any time, I’m interested to see what you think!

I'm sorry to hear that MHD. I think you came up with a genuinely cool idea, and hopefully we can still do a CYS talent show. Regardless, thanks for hosting so many cool events, and I can't wait to see your next one! I still think the Talent Show was a wonderful idea. Perhaps people didn't see or maybe it was the timing. I don't know, but hopefully, if you do this again, people will join! I'd still love to be a judge, the idea of the 3 judges was particularly fun!

Hey Manu, If you enjoyed the Fighting Fantasy books, may I offer a recommendation?

Check out Tales of Erenel by Will11

Lol, just realized I'm already in! Sweet! In that case, ignore my earlier message, it was a bit superfluous. I'd also like to make a request for a story review. Any members here, could you review "The Book of Vanishing Tales" by Cameron, if you haven't already done so. It's an older story that I think is really cool, and I've been meaning to write a review for, so hopefully I'll get some accountability by reviewing it alongside another accomplished reviewer :) I'm sure there will be other requests, so don't feel any pressure to accept this one! Also, sorry to Gryphon in advance, I know you already reviewed this one, but I'm sure there will be another request that will be just as cool. Reviewer: Any(except Gryph since he already wrote a marvelous review for this story :) )

I'd love to join! Sign me up!
